This front strut kit pairs RalliTEK lift springs with KYB Excel-G struts. It comes fully assembled and fits 2008-2014 Subaru WRX and 2008-2011 Impreza models. It gives about 1 inch of lift and 1 inch of added ground clearance, and it increases the vehicle's ability to carry more weight or added accessories.
The RalliTEK springs are linear-rate springs designed for the limited space in Subaru models. They allow larger tires and are meant to improve off-road handling while keeping the on-road ride quality. The kit uses a heavy-duty strut mount design for increased life and strength.
The KYB Excel-G is a twin-tube gas hydraulic strut with an inner working cylinder and an outer fluid reservoir. The shaft and piston move hydraulic fluid in and out of both to dampen body movement. Two multi-stage valves support handling in a wide range of driving conditions, and extruded tubing in the working cylinder provides a positive seal and consistent performance. The kit is a complete bolt-on, with no drilling or cutting needed.
